This is the thread to post interesting video game news that you hear. If it's interesting enough (to me) then I will do a bit of research and post an official site news article about it.

If it's interesting (to me) and your post is so well-written that I'm left with no choice but to use your words, then I'll make sure you're credited with writing the article. But I'm not asking for that amount of effort. A heads up is enough.

I personally don't find this story that interesting, but then I remember seeing a PSP-related article on HG recently (in fact, it's still on the sidebar). So hey, figure I might as well bring this up just in case.

I don't know too much about ZeniMax, but can they afford to buy Harmonix? Viacom bought Harmonix for $175 million a few years back. I was thinking EA was maybe likelier, given that them and Harmonix already have a pretty good relationship.

ZeniMax owns Bethesda who just sold five million copies of Fallout: New Vegas. In 2008 Fallout 3 sold over 4 million copies in the first week, no idea how many have been sold overall so, yeah, I think they can manage a buy out.
